NFL free agency is upon us. Free agency is annually one of the most exciting -- and chaotic -- times on the calendar, and this year will be no different.
When it comes to the Cincinnati Bengals, they enter free agency with a plethora of players headed for the open market, and several key areas of need. The Bengals also have ample salary cap space to use to bring back some key contributors and/or make some outside additions.
Obviously, the biggest storylines surrounding the Bengals this offseason revolve around what they're going to do with their trio of stars -- Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson. All three of those guys are seeking new, long-term deals with the organization, and teams from around the league's landscape are anxiously awaiting to see what the Bengals decide to do with their trio of stars.
The team has already designated Higgins as a franchise player and permitted Hendrickson to seek a trade. Both situations await solutions. In the meantime, the Bengals have started to sign some free agents.
